Gettin into position         
After pullin' through the load-out facility the engine had to run around its train, couple up, shove back to spot the head car and begin loadin'. 5574 is actually a 3300 hp. unit, hence the red numberboard. Several C30's were "souped up", as were several SD40's, in an effort to reduce the total number of units needed in coal service.
